Erik Bedard Rumors

Jason Churchill of Prospect Insider dug up "a few fresh nuggets" regarding the Erik Bedard trade discussions.

• The Mariners reportedly offered Adam Jones, Jeff Clement, and George Sherrill for Bedard.  Seems the Orioles want Brandon Morrow or Carlos Triunfel instead of Clement.  One source of Churchill's believes the Mariners would be more inclined to buckle and surrender Morrow than Triunfel.  It's even possible that the Orioles gave the Mariners a "final counteroffer" including one of the two and will move on if it's rejected.
• Many Mariners fans believe Bedard is not even worth Jones straight up, so imagine how they'll feel if the Orioles extract significantly more.
• The Orioles still want Jay Bruce from Cincinnati; otherwise they would ask for a ridiculous package of pretty much everyone else worth discussing in the Reds' farm system.
